ransomnote: The text version of that commentary is below because it has links. After I posted it the first time, within a day or two Wiki completely rewrote it to protect Worldometer's trashy reputation.
Worldometer is known to have fast data, not necessarily accurate data, and they get their data wherever they can find it, so they do not have standards of accuracy.
"Edouard Mathieu, the data manager of Our World in Data, stated that "Their main focus seems to be having the latest number [of COVID-19 cases] wherever it comes from, whether it’s reliable or not, whether it’s well-sourced or not."[6]
Virginia Pitzer, a Yale University epidemiologist, said that the site is "legitimate", but flawed, inconsistent, and containing errors.[6]"
Not you. The poster. Thousands upon thousands of dollars this site pulls in every year yet can’t have a simple edit button.
